Is this possible? It is currently in my head, I cannot really grasp it … but want some guidance before I proceed. I am wondering if the User Specific Columns could be used somehow for an admin password to see parts (components) of the app. I have an app where students sign in, but I would like to have one tab that only some can see. Could I set a password for the components on that tab? Then give out a password to certain users. When they type in that password certain components ‘show up’ because of their own User Specific Column? if (user specific column) matches (a password I set) then (component is visible) I know that everyone could ‘see’ the tab but I could somehow restrict the components on that tab by a typed in password. ---

Yes, you could do that. I’m working on a Farmers Market app where Vendors can “join” a market, but only if the have the “join code” provided by the market. ---

That’s a great idea. I’m looking for something like that, too. Can you give me a solution? ---

Hi Spencer…since your users are already signing into the app, can’t you instead assign them a role in your users profile sheet? Only those with certain roles get access to certain components automatically? No password needed. ---

@Robert_Petitto - as usual you get me thinking about things I don’t know about. (That is what a good teacher does, right? I was just thinking of a way to try this out on my walk this morning. I may call on you for some help when I get into trying this out. ---

This should get you started. > [@List Relation "Data"](https://community.glideapps.com/t/list-relation-data/7659/5): > > BAM! I figured it out. First create an If/Then column on the user profile sheet that fills the column with the word ‘Name’ if signed in user. Next, on every sheet you want to display the name: Create a template column that contains the word ‘Name’. Create a relation column that joins the name template to the name template in the user profile sheet. Create a lookup column that gets the name from the relation. Bonus - make it look pretty.
